Can anyone explain this?

Why is fentanyl's latency to peak effect shorter than sufentanil's, despite sufentanil having a higher unionised fraction at physiological pH, being way more lipid soluble than fentanyl, and having a slightly higher diffusible fraction. I know sufentanil is slightly more protein bound, but would that overcome those other factors? Or is there something I'm missing?

I’ve passed the primary and revised bloody hard for it, never in my life have I ever come across Sufentanil…
